Chapter 0490: Xanadu Trampled
The girl is innocent, but she is gullible about Qin Qiong, also because of Qin Qiong's upright appearance.
Qin Qiong said in a calm tone as much as possible: "We were in a hurry and missed the stay. Excuse me, girl, where can I spend the night? ”
The girl was stunned for a moment, and pointed into the distance. "Well, from here to the north, walk to the stream, wade through, and not far to the west, there will be a village gathering."
The girl spoke very carefully, and must be warm-hearted.
"Thank you." Qin Qiong clenched her fists, afraid that the good-hearted girl would suffer, so she couldn't help but say: "Girl, be more careful in the future, don't trust others." ”
Shi Ah also said with a lot of mouths: "Yes, yes, just one sentence, how can you be sure that we are not bandits?" ”
The girl was stunned, and suddenly leaned over and picked up the neatly tied branches on the ground, and hurried away.
"What are you talking about? Scare the girls away! ”
"Second brother, hehe, this girl is my second sister-in-law!"
"What?" Qin Qiong paused for a moment before she understood what Shi A meant. "What are you talking about?!"
"Second brother, don't believe it, according to the experience of the younger brother, the girl looks at you wrongly!"
"Don't talk nonsense, ruin the innocence of other girls!"
Shi Ah is really not talking nonsense.
Before the Shi family was slaughtered by Dong Zhuo, Shi A's family background was also good, and like his brother Shi Jin, he liked to spend time drinking and being merry.
In other aspects, he and Qin Qiong are not comparable, only the understanding of women, Qin Qiong and him are 108,000 miles apart.
……
The two of them followed the path pointed out by the girl, waded through the stream, and walked a short distance, but did not see the village gathering, but first saw a small valley.
It is surrounded by mountains on three sides, and there is only one road in and out of the southeast.
Undisturbed by the northwesterly winds, the climate in the valley is much higher than outside.
Outside, the snow is beginning to melt, and the valley is already full of flowers.
What a paradise!
A small valley that is apparently rarely trodden in. Although there is no shortage of rocks and weeds, it is rare to have such a peaceful place in this troubled world.
Go inside. The valley gradually opened up.
"Second brother, I have good news......
Qin Qiong didn't wait for Shi A to finish speaking, and said, "I have bad news. ”
Shi A wanted to laugh, but looked at Qin Qiong with a serious face. Hold back.
"Tell me, what's the good news?"
"Second brother, there is a thatched hut in front, we don't have to sleep in the open!"
Qin Qiong has been practicing martial arts for a long time, and her ears and eyes are clear. Of course, I saw a thatched hut looming in front of me. "The bad news for me is that we probably won't have time to rest."
"Second brother, what's wrong?" Shi Ah just finished asking, and he knew the answer. Ahead, there was a faint cry.
……
Three thatched huts, two acres of arable land.
The hut is dilapidated and has been deliberately vandalized. The cultivated land is full of traces of human footsteps, which proves that this place has been destroyed.
Qin Qiong and Shi A glanced at each other. This kind of paradise. Who is here to trample on?
The two turned over and dismounted, Qin Qiong threw the reins of the horse to Shi A, and walked over cautiously following the direction from which the wailing came.
Behind the hut, there is still a bit of thin ground. The land here is even more embarrassing, and almost all the seedlings that have just emerged have been trampled.
A middle-aged man in shabby clothes was prostrate on the ground, crying bitterly. Holding a few weak seedlings in his left hand, he pounded the ground vigorously with his right hand, crying to the ground.
"Give me back my wheat, give me back my wheat! Oh, my God! Give me back......"
Qin Qiong tentatively approached. Cautiously asked, "Old man......"
The middle-aged man suddenly jumped up from the ground and pounced on Qin Qiong in a frenzy. "I'm fighting with you!"
Qin Qiong dodged quickly, dodging the man's pounce, and saw the man staggering to the ground, and then took another half step, reaching out to grab one of the man's arms.
Qin Qiong is powerful. Catching this kind of person who has no kung fu is like carrying a chicken.
The man didn't appreciate it, stretched out his other hand and grabbed Qin Qiong.
Qin Qiong turned sideways slightly, let go of the frantic grab, and grabbed his other arm. "Uncle, I'm not a bad person."
The man struggled desperately, and Qin Qiong was afraid that he would go crazy again, so he firmly controlled his arms.
The man lost his strength, sat down, and wept profusely.
"Uncle, you sit down and rest first, and speak slowly."
The man looked up, his face was full of tears and dirt, his voice was hoarse, and he pleaded helplessly: "Please, please, give me back my wheat......"
This person was almost crazy, no matter how Qin Qiong and Shi A persuaded him, he just cried, or repeated "return my wheat" over and over again......
According to Shi'a's will, it is better to listen to this madman crying, than to go out of the valley and sleep in the open.
Qin Qiong acted chivalrous and righteous, seeing that this person must have encountered great difficulties, how could he not care.
The man thought he was tired of crying, and he fell asleep.
The two men carried him into the hut, gathered a small fire outside, and leaned against it for a while.
……
At dawn, Qin Qiong and Shi A got up, and saw that the man was sleeping very deeply, and they were a little relieved.
It was dark yesterday, so I didn't pay attention to it. At this time, by the morning light, I saw a mess in the hut.
The pots and pots were broken to the ground, and there were a lot of bamboo slips scattered on the ground.
"Second brother, is this old man still a scholar?"
"Reading and literacy, living in seclusion here, there must be something unspeakable." Qin Qiong picked up a few bamboo slips, and saw that the depictions on them were all strange graphics and words.
I was about to clean up the house when I suddenly heard an exclamation outside.
Qin Qiong jumped out with an arrow step, only to see a young girl carrying a crockpot in her hand and a small bundle of neatly trimmed branches.
It's the girl I met yesterday.
"Ahh The girl screamed in surprise, seeing that it was Qin Qiong, she screamed twice more nervously.
"Smack!"
The crockpot fell off, and the food inside was scattered all over the floor.
"Girl, it's me, I'm not a bad person."
The horror on the girl's face gradually turned into anger, and she suddenly exclaimed, "What happened to Uncle You?!" ”
shouted, put aside Qin Qiong, and quickly ran into the hut.
"Get out! Get out! Get the hell out of here! ”
The girl shouted loudly, and Shi Ah escaped with her head in her arms, but she didn't give up. "If it weren't for the second brother's face, I would never have spared you!"
"Don't talk nonsense!" Qin Qiong drank Shi A, and was just about to enter the house to explain, when half of the broken basin flew out of the house with a "whoosh", almost hitting Qin Qiong.
"Second brother, this second sister-in-law, don't do it."
"Shut up!"
Qin Qiong glared, Shi A was honest.
In the house, the middle-aged man woke up and said a few words to the girl, and the two began to cry again.
Outside the house, Qin Qiong and Shi A looked at each other, neither to leave nor to stay.
In the house, the crying continued, but the more the girl cried, the more sad she became, but the middle-aged man stopped crying and kept comforting the girl......
Shi A walked around the hut like a case-handling head, turned back, and said to Qin Qiong confidently: "Second brother, according to the analysis of the younger brother, there must be a thief who robbed the wheat and destroyed the seedlings. ”
Before Qin Qiong could speak, she saw the middle-aged man and the girl walking out of the hut.
The middle-aged man was depressed, and the girl's eyes were swollen from crying, and she didn't want to be seen, so she buried her head deeply.
The middle-aged man ignored Qin Qiong and the others, sighed, turned to the plough behind him, and wept while checking whether there were any seedlings that could be saved.
The girl followed, passing by Qin Qiong's side, she didn't dare to look at Qin Qiong, and only said in a low voice: "I'm sorry ......" (to be continued.) )
